This emulsified composition is characterized by containing (a) polyglyceryl monooleate, (b) glycerin, (c) ceresin, and (d) water. The emulsified composition has reduced separation over time, and exceptionaly stable properties, making it useful as an emulsified composition for pharmaceuticals, quasi-drugs, cosmetics, and the like. The emulsified composition may additionally contain oil components such as liquid paraffin, squalane, white petrolatum, and the like, and is preferably of W/O type. A typical formulation contains 0.1 to 20 mass% of ceresin and 0.5 to 40 mass% of polyglyceryl monooleate with respect to the total amount of the emulsified composition, and the ceresin to polyglyceryl monooleate mass ratio is preferably 0.1 to 5:1.本發明為一種乳化組成物,其特徵為含有(a)聚甘油單油酸酯、(b)甘油、(c)地蠟(ceresine)、及(d)水,其為經時性分離獲抑制,且性質穩定性優良的乳化組成物,並有用於作為醫藥品.準醫藥品.化妝品等的乳化組成物。本乳化組成物亦可進一步包含流動石蠟、鯊烷、白凡士林等油性成分,較佳為W/O型。典型上,相對於乳化組成物總質量,含有0.1~20質量%之地蠟、0.5~40質量%之聚甘油單油酸酯,且地蠟比聚甘油單油酸酯之質量比較佳為0.1~5:1。
